N4 Sound

The engine sound in the N4 demo sounds a bit like an out of tune TV, it's certainly not as it should be. I have a Creative SB16, anyone else having trouble? Chris -- www.geocities.com/simbokza Remove _your_clothes before replying

There is a known problem with SB16's and N4 demo. Eric Busch said they were attempting to find a fix for the final release.... I've said this before....SB16's are now at least two generations behind and we will see more and more of the new programs have trouble running with these and other older cards. dave henrie "Chris Bloom" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:910f7d$eh0$[email hidden]...

Thanks for that information Dave. I will be very sad when I have to dump my SB16. Over the last 4.5 years it has given me zero (yes none at all) problems! It also sounds bloody good IMO. I hope it still has a few more miles under the hood!

Amazing, isn't it? I can fire up a brand-new flight sim and, with my trusty old SB16, be treated to some of the most awsome sound effects that I've heard come out of such a game. Yet Papyrus are having a problem in getting a V8 engine soundrunning properly!! -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%PQY5.131095$[email hidden]... > There is a known problem with SB16's and N4 demo.

It still amazes me that some guys actually say that the SB16 is outdated, "get a new card" Sound is sound.... I like the quality of sound that my "old out-dated ISA slot Sb16" sound card produces, and i see no reason at all, to update it at this stage of the computer technology era. Papy will fix the problem with N4 before it's release, so mine is staying firmly entrenched in my ISA slot....

Well, how do you expect Creative to get more money if you are satisfied with your old card ;)? -Gregor

I'm one of those guys Ron. I'm not saying "get" a new card. But, your card will have increasing difficulty keeping up with technological advances. Sooner or later you will probably be 'forced' to replace it. Not yet...but that day is comming. How many Soundblaster Pros are still around? The SB16 isn't much younger than that old bird. dave henrie "Ron Ayton" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:01c06365$22502ba0$9f3c36cb@ronayton...

I also thought sound is sound, before i got a Live! Theres really much better sound than i thought. You dont know how i sounds before you've heard it, right? And ISA cards, just isn't good. Simply. Even bad PCI cards are better than good ISA card. Jeppe

I thought "sound was sound" and "how can they get any better?" with the SB16. The SBLive! is great and much improved over the SB16. You get 4 channels and try using the forest environment with GPL. Superb. Jason. Jeppe Kusk wrote:

Just to follow up, this issue has since been addressed and the release version will work properly on the SB16. -- Eric "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%PQY5.131095$[email hidden]... > There is a known problem with SB16's and N4 demo.

Sound may be sound to ya right now, but trust me - throw in a good Live card, and a good 4 speaker/sub setup, and you'll realize a whole new sound experience coming from your pc. I was shocked at the difference, not only in music but in games, you'll hear things you've never heard before. -- Don Burnette Dburn in N3 and Legends ICQ# 74084566 "Ron Ayton" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:01c06365$22502ba0$9f3c36cb@ronayton... > It still amazes me that some guys actually say that the SB16 is > outdated, "get a new card" > Sound is sound.... > I like the quality of sound that my "old out-dated ISA slot Sb16" sound > card produces, and i see no reason at all, to update it at this stage > of the computer technology era. > Papy will fix the problem with N4 before it's release, so mine is > staying firmly entrenched in my ISA slot.... > > Cheers, > Ron > > > Bruce Kennewell <[email hidden]> wrote in article > <[email hidden]>... > > Amazing, isn't it? > > I can fire up a brand-new flight sim and, with my trusty old SB16, be > > treated to some of the most awsome sound effects that I've heard come > out of > > such a game. > > > > Yet Papyrus are having a problem in getting a V8 engine soundrunning > > properly!! > > > > -- > > Regards, > > Bruce Kennewell, > > Canberra, Australia. > > --------------------------- >

If I were, I wouldn't be using their PCI64v card anymore ;). -gregor

>Just to follow up, this issue has since been addressed and the release >version will work properly on the SB16. I sure hope so because I have yet to hear any sound coming from N4. It would have been nice if they would have included a little Sound setup like N2 and N3 had so I could at least have a fighting chance and seeing what is wrong. It would have been nice if, during setup I would have heard the familiar "vroom vroom" and see the message, "did you hear the sound?" Oh well, I'll just take your word for it that they are going to get it fixed. Dave Casey Casey_94 (NASCAR Racing 3 & 4) www.teamcasey.net www.lvkc.com www.buycoolcrap.com

Thanks for that info, Eric. Nice to know that I can hold onto my antiquated card for a while longer :-) -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Eric Busch <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:913tfi$lm4$[email hidden]... > Just to follow up, this issue has since been addressed and the release > version will work properly on the SB16. > > -- > Eric > > > "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:%PQY5.131095$[email hidden]... > > There is a known problem with SB16's and N4 demo.
